I can’t wait for root vegetable season. I love the earthy and deep flavors of these tubers. As the weather turns cooler, I crave the heartiness of these vegetables and the fact that I can really season them up. Unlike delicate summer vegetables, autumnal root veggies, can be braised and caramelized to heighten their flavors.

Heat a large Dutch oven or sauté pan, lightly coated with olive oil, over medium heat. Sauté, in batches, the root vegetables and apples until they are browned and slightly softened (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Be sure to season each batch with salt and pepper.

Place all of the vegetables in a Dutch oven and add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Cover and cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover and return to the oven for another 20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze.

Remove the thyme and parsley stems. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
